Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
In the beautiful setting of Convocation House, members of SCANJ string quartet and cellist Jacqueline Johnson will perform a unique programme. This will feature four pieces of complete silence, including John Cage’s 4’33” and 4’33” No. 2, and works that are very quiet or that contain significant silences by Joseph Haydn, Arvo Pärt, Nils Frahm, Philip Glass and Peteris Vasks.
The performance will be followed by a drinks reception from 8-8.30pm in the Chancellor’s Court.
Willem Kuyken, Ritblat Professor of Mindfulness at the University of Oxford will guide the audience through the event.
Admission is free but places are limited so please book a ticket via eventbrite www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/into-silence-silence-mindfulness-tickets-7836292261.
